Somebody's New Setup

Ok here is a better update! Went down to Ron's place as usual along with Nate and Tom. We fitted the cams and are now in for good! We did some misc stuff as well and decided to put the engine in. Since we worked on Ron's kid's basket hoop thingy in the backyard for a few hours, we only got started on the car at around 3 in the afternoon but! we did it 
We ended up finishing up at around 2 in the AM! Thanks to Tom Breeze, Nate (aka Barney), Ron and Michelle aka Suprawoman. The next day, Ron and I started working on the car and did a mock-up to make sure everything fit perfectly. Michelle came later in the noon and helped some again as well with some organizing of wiring etc
Since I don't have all of the pictures on my camera, I hope that Ron or Tom will post some up.
Here are some pics and again thanks guys! Coming close!
You'll notice that the wastegate is still not attached. We're doing a mock-up just to make sure everything fits perfectly.
A pic of the turbo in bay for mock up
After testing the hood, we have 1/8" clearance before the turbo hits the hood.

dont you mean a nicer engine bay PERIOD.... that is absolutely AMAZING! Love it Duane and Co., keep up the awesome work!
WOW Duane, this is really starting to come together. Lots of work no doubt, kind of like building a giant model kit and detailing every part before it goes in. Goos luck getting it all togetherand hope to see it at the TX meet one of these years.

Thanks bud
I WILL 100% be at a Texas meet but not sure which meet. It will depend on funds after this is finished. I never really thought of it like a "model kit" LOL .. It is pretty much like that too LOL :biglaugh:
Duane
Duane,
It looks like
You and ron need to learn how to build a car. What a bunch of hacks.
:kloguck:

Duane lives in Canada and is going to a Texas meet. I will probably have to go to that one as well. Keep us posted which meet you are going to, and maybe you can bring those two loser friends of yous as well. I would love to see their cars in person also. I actually see a very close replica of Kwnates everyday. The only difference is, mine doesn't take fifteen seconds to go through a quarter mile....................:biglaugh:
I'd fly down and go to a texas meet, that shit would be cool. I'd rent a mini van and smoke some NA's :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hey guys thanks!
I do live in Canada but only 1.5 hours from nate and Ron. I will keep you guys posted to which I go to. Trust me as I want to meet up with as many Supra guys as possible and have a great time! Also, in case I break something, we can have some spare parts on hand :biglaugh:
Nate will get his car down in the 1/4 soon I hope. Nate? I want to make a pass to if you don't mind. :naughty:
I hope to bring a few of us down that way when we head down. Ron, Nate and me. Maybe Tom Breeze as well if he can..?
